The good news is Richmond are currently being thrashed by the pies. I reckon if we can win then suddenly all the focus will turn to Hardwick.

I reckon Frawley can hold Riewoldt. Maybe Royal could prove he is a good midfield coach by working out how to shut down Martin, Cotchin and Deldio and there other runners.

I think we need to bring Tapscott back because he and Magner in there will at least provide some toughness. Tapscott doesnt back down at all and he was at least 1 positive last year.

Hopefully Clark can stand up again and it would be nice to see Jamar smash Maric. I reckon we can win but the players confidence is so low.

    Or maybe not.

    With that midfield, against ours, we're in for a tough afternoon.

    Bullets or a dodgy vindaloo. Otherwise we are no chance on todays attitude.

    At least Mitch stuck to it. I like him.

    Shazza turncoats to the Demons?

    I've tipped a win this week. Unless a further destabilising event occurs this week, I'm sticking to it.

    Yeah , it's better than even money that something will happen . Was thinking of starting a thread along those lines . Maybe we could all share a laugh thinking of some new ridiculous happening .

    I'll have a go .

    New revelations reveal that Mark Neeld has been leaving the "Match Day" coaching to Brian Royal . Mark , when quizzed on why this happened said "He's been knocked back for so many head coaching jobs , I thought I'd let him have a taste of the big time".

    Brian Royal was unavailable for any comment . Sources close to the club reveal that Brian is happy to go back to coaching the midfield .

    Cheers

    And here lies the problem. I too think Richmond will win by 40+ points and yet last year we were a better team. Crazy.

    Sacking Schawb and Connolly will see a tremendous improvement in our game IMO

    I still think we can beat the tigers. If chippa beats riewoldt and someone else in our forward line (Does anyone else play in our forward line?) fires with clark we have a sniff. We need to tag more aswell. Neeld should know by now we are not collingwood so tag away.

    Richmond will win by around 40 points, you can bank on it.

    This. We cannot beat Richmond. We need to come to terms with the reality that we might give GWS a contest this year, but nobody else.

    Richmond will win by at least 10 goals. Our team plan and implementation is abysmal. The players have no confidence at all in their own ability to win games or even to beat individual opponents.

    The two players that usually fire up against Richmond are out. Sylvia saves his best game for the year for the Tigers and Jurrah usually gets a couple of goals. With both these guys out we will lose by 5-7 goals.

    I'm tipping Richmond will better us by at least 2-3 goals a quarter, so my line is 48 points, and that is me being optimistic. Their midfield is too good for us, they also put in proper effort at periods during every quarter, where as we only do for maybe a little bit of the first half.

    Going to be another ugly one unfortunately.

    How can you come back from that kind of caining - they will be riddled with doubt and really there is only two players in form. Richmond are hungry and will smash us.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
